More Birthday thoughts...

This is a sort of follow-up on the last post.

I just had a thought.(WOW! Incredible, isn't it.)
When we are young, Birthdays are cherished in so many ways, both for the materialistic aspect of tghe celebration, but also because one becomes a whole YEAR older. if you think about this, a year is a high percentage of a youth's life. As you get older, the percentage of your life that a year represents becomes preportionally smaller. Another thing is that in older people, (35+) birthdays are dreaded because they are getting older. As if that is a bad thing...maybe it is. I don't know, I'm only 15, almost 16.

Thoughts on Life...and Birthdays

I'm going to make this exceptionally clear for the world to see.
MY BIRTHDAY IS THIS FRIDAY, AUGUST 17.

And yet, somehow, I don't care.
I remember when birthdays were like the biggest and best event in the summer for me. This is slightly strange for me to talk about this, because as of right now, I have little to no emotions regarding this friday. Nonwithstanding the fact that this is my 16th birthday, supposedly a 'milestone' as far as birthdays go. I don't deny that I appreciate the materialistic aspect of birthday celebrations, like gifts and cake and doing fun stuff, but it doesn't hold the magic that it used to. Sad, in a way. It does make me wonder if this attiutude towards birthday will continue in my future.
To make one thing perfectly clear; I'm excited about Friday. This is not because I'm a year older, but because I'm going to have a wonderful day.
